Notes
'Sweet Ann' sweet cherry (Prunus avium 'Sweet Ann') is a tree for food gardens and pollinator gardens. It is hardy to USDA zone 3, or down to -40°F (-40°C). This plant likes full sun. Its columnar shape suits small spaces, and it blooms from early to late spring for butterflies and bees. The cherries are grown for fresh eating and ripen late in the season. Plant a second cherry nearby, since this one is not self-fertile.
Pairs well with Paprika yarrow, Ice Follies daffodil, Limelight Prime panicle hydrangea, and Royal fern.
